I have been traveling to PCB with my family for years now, and happened on this property. It is now our family vacation spot of choice hands down. The pictures do not do this vacation home justice, its absolutely beautiful. Just the right touches everywhere you look. The rooms are large, space is fitting for two families to visit. And the views are amazing. The beach is clean and the area is quiet. Close to many different eating locations along with a Walmart and Dollar General Store. A sure 10/10.
